🔷 INTRODUCTION
Every entrepreneur dreams of building a ₹1 crore business. While most people focus on marketing, sales, and product, very few understand that legal structure and compliance play a crucial role in scaling a business successfully.
Many businesses grow fast initially but later struggle due to:
- Legal issues
- Tax inefficiency

On the other hand, businesses that are legally strong:
